A unique opportunity to learn! ATG Entertainment’s Technical Apprenticeships are a great way to kick-start a technical career within a varied selection of theatres and live entertainment venues across the UK.
Working in one of ATG Entertainments regional or London venues, apprentices gain hands on experience straight away, working alongside in-house technical teams and visiting companies to support a busy performance programme. Their theatres are all receiving houses with an ever-changing variety of productions, so you’re guaranteed to work on an interesting variety of shows and events.
The apprenticeship standard is the Creative Industries Production Technician Level 3. You can find out more about what you’re expected to learn and how it is assessed on the Institute for Apprenticeships website.
Approximately 20% of your time is spent on ‘off the job’ training like training courses, shadowing and taught sessions, with the remaining 80% of your time spent working as a trainee technician on real events. Training courses are offered by ATG Entertainment and other specialist organisations: everything from PAT testing to working at height and risk assessment to operating lighting desks.
Apprentices are also required to hold Level 2 qualifications in English, Maths and ICT; these are compulsory and will be completed with the college during your apprenticeship if you do not already hold them.
Ambitious, self-motivated and determined individuals eager to learn and become an active member of the team.
